What is it worth navigating, creating a Scandinavian interior in its own bathroom? We give a short sheet of key tips and show stylish examples.
1 Decide with the functionality
Scandinavian style is primarily practicality and functionality. Think what load do you plan to impose on your bathroom:
- Do you need spacious storage systems or will they locate outside the bathroom?
- Is there a mini-laundry bathroom or under it a corner in another part of the apartment?
- Bath or shower area (and can, both)?
Be sure to ask yourself these and other issues before you begin the design of the bathroom in Scandinavian style.
2 Select the basis of the color scheme
Most often, the Scandinavian interior is basic neutral tones and color and / or graphic accents. For a bathroom, this is a very practical approach: you are unlikely to often update the tiles and radically change other finishes, which means that it is better to focus on calm shades that do not cause rejection times.
The shades of beige, gray, white, as well as pastel colors and shades of natural stone and wood are suitable as the main colors.
3 Add accents
Scandinavian style gives a fairly wide space for choosing accent colors: it can be both simple bright shades and more sophisticated and complex tones. Moreover: you can stop your choice on dark graphic accents or contact the pastel gamma - modern Scandinavian design in this sense is quite flexible. The main thing is to avoid frankly unnatural shades (for example, neon) and try to stick to the natural colors, focusing on the natural combinations.
It is best to add colored accents using textiles (bathroom curtain, rug, towels) and accessories. If necessary, in the future they can be easily replaced by giving the bathroom novelty.
4 Make a bet on naturalness
Natural materials and natural textiles are preferable to artificial analogues, especially if we are talking about Scandinavian design. Not to mention the fact that eco-motives in principle in the trend.
5 Focus on "sufficiency"
Scandinavian design presented us with a capacious word "lag" (which can be freely translated into Russian as "sufficiency"). This is a special philosophy of harmony under the motto "Exactly as much as necessary." Lovely landmark for seating for the bathroom in Scandinavian style! Choose the necessary items and do not overload the situation superfluous.
If your bathroom is extremely small, contact compact furniture and plumbing. And also do not forget that if necessary, you can make the furniture to order, using each centimeter of the available space.
6 Thinking lighting
No, one lamp in the center of the ceiling is not enough. Even if the bathroom is completely small, provide additional local lighting in the mirror over the sink. And if the bathroom is quite spacious, it may be useful in the shower zone.
By the way, you can think about natural lighting in the bathroom - for example, providing a translucent window.
7 Do not ignore the decor
The decorative component of the interior of the Scandinavian bathroom nobody canceled. Although, of course, from meaningless "decorations" it is better to move aside a more functional decor. Take a look at a variety of stylish bathroom accessories, as well as to small things that create a comfort and a relaxing atmosphere (cut out candles, aromalamps).
8 Do not forget about plants
Who said that in the bathroom is not a place plants? Indoor flowers will add comfort to the space; Focus on indoor flowers, perfectly felt in conditions of high humidity, insufficient lighting and temperature drops. You can turn to the phytopianly, they are currently in the trend, and in addition, they can be placed on any free segment of the wall.
